Irresistible peach, pear and apricot flavors shine through this wine.

If you like loads of luscious fruit in your glass, Chateau Ste. Michelle 2012 Harvest Select Sweet Riesling (Columbia Valley; $10) is for you. Don’t be put off by the “sweet” descriptor: While the wine’s thoroughly irresistible peach, pear and apricot flavors shine through, a tangy finish brings refreshment and balance.
More good news: The wine’s alcohol level is 10.5 percent, making it a good choice in warm weather (when higher-alcohol wines can really make your head spin).
